New Year's Resolutions

New Year's Resolutions... hmmm!What's your thought on these? I finally have finished the "last year's" resolution that I challenged myself with... just this Sunday - argh! Last January 2009 - I wanted to make and send each church member of my local church family a handmade birthday card... sounds easy?NOT!FINALLY, this Sunday, I delivered the last 3!! YAHOO! I almost gave up - mid-December with only 18 cards left - I almost hung up the towel and said - NO MORE... and who would notice... BUT, I wasn't going to let 11-1/2 monthes go down without the whole year... hee hee! SO! I sucked it up - made a bunch of "belated birthday - please forgive me cards" and now I'm done.

"Mission Accomplished!"

It did help me to know more of our church family... to reach out and touch each one. It was a great blessing to do! "Why the negative thoughts, then?" I'm very glad that I stuck with it (besides all the complaining...sorry)!! It all worked

out!

Now, any NEW New Year's Resolutions for 2010 - NOPE! Not this year, I'm sure I've got some thoughts running through my head... but none I will confess too! How about you? New Year's Resolutions?? Have a great week!

Welcome!

On a Personal Note...

Blogging is fun and is an outlet - I am just like you! My days are full of "to do's", morning till night. Sound familiar? When I DO find the time in the day, I love crafting - totally into paper-crafting at the moment (6 years!). That's why my blogs are often full of the projects that I'm working on. As a mom to 4 males(1 at-home son, 2 college sons and 1 husband), that time is often limited. I have been creating art items, cards, doo-das, painting, claying, anything "artsy-fartsy" ALL my life. Each one different from the last. It is something I truly enjoy.

You could even say it is a passion. Part of that passion has been sharing with others and attempting to teach them - hence my 2nd job of teaching Art in the high school and often my clubs and other groups that I'm involved in - it's just who I am. I am very lucky to be able to live in a small town and share! So! Please don't think that I'm a "kiss up" or trying to out-do someone else... I'm giving to give... I make things to give - it's just me!
